Ask HN: How many times did you bump into wikipedia yesterday?

3 pointsby babarockvor 15 Jahren5 comments

Despite being fully aware of the blackout, my regular browsing habits led me to the Wikipedia website around 10 times or so.

This goes to prove how crucial online info has become, at least for me. I fully supported the protest, yet kept going back to the website. I guess my fingers are faster than my mind.

How many times did you end up on Wikipedia yesterday out of habits and reflexes (not to show your Aunt Marge the stylish protest page)?

Great question. I bumped into it around 4 times. I, knowing it was down, still clicked through. Then again, and again.

About 5 or 6 times. Didn't realize I was so dependent upon such a dubious source of knowledge.

Several times, though I'm a student, so I might access it more often than others.

Twice, although it still brought how reliant I am on it into perspective.

Twice.
